Hi,
I have been building custom kernels for my system a while now.
Recently I run into trouble that I haven't experienced before:
I build my kernel with:
$ make menuconfig
$ make-kpkg clean
$ fakeroot make-kpkg --initrd --append-to-version=-custom kernel_image
kernel_headers
When I try to install I get now following error:
$ dpkg -i linux-image-2.6.30-custom_2.6.30-custom-10.00.Custom_amd64.deb

Hi,
It looks to me like you have included a kernel option for this device in
the last two kernels (linux-image-2.6.30-custom and
linux-image-2.6.29.1-custom) which you had not included before. I'm not
sure which option would force the inclusion of mts_edge.fw, but if you
look through the kernel config you can probably find it and disable it.
You could also try using the --force-conflicts or --force-overwrite
flags with dpkg, although that could get dangerous.
